The StationMaster is a self -contained, track side module that can automatically slow-down, pause, and then gracefully accelerate your trains up to speed. The StationMaster can control trains up to 6 AMPS.

Christmas tree hookups are the easiest by far. Just attach two wires from your transformer directly to the StationMaster or StationMaster/Reverser, and two more wires from the StationMaster to the track. No isolators or engine modifications are necessary. Your train will slow-down, pause and accelerate at every location where a train sensor is placed under the track! (1 supplied in the basic unit) And you really don't need a Christmas tree to run this hookup! For additional station stops, just add a train sensor at every location where a Decelerate/Pause/Accelerate sequence is desired.

Block control is easy with a StationMaster. Two trains can share the same loop of track. One train will decelerate and wait for the second train to reach a track sensor. In this way, the trains will be spaced apart from each other regardless of their relative speeds. (Requires 2 sensors and 2 magnets)

Two speed operations where the train slows down over trestles, and speeds up on straightaways can easily be done with the StationMaster. In addition to station stops, your train can have two different speeds as it travels around your railroad, accelerating and decelerating as necessary. (Requires additional sensors)

The StationMaster is designed for outdoor use if placed inside a Rubbermaid or similar container. This can easily be hidden under a rock, or inside a model building or station. Electronics mounted directly to the track should never be used outdoors where things can get wet, frozen, and sometimes really hot!
